R U Providing a PA and we provide the personal amps, drums?

Hi guys,

Thank you for the responses.

The event is being held at the Five Rivers Delta Resource Center (similar to a State Park), on the Causeway just past Bue Gill in Spanish Fort. We will have a PA supplied, along with a stage and 30 x 60 tent to cover the band/equipment, as well as a staging area for the bands in one of the buildings.

The Center has held a variety of events before, most notably a Blues Fest last year and have a fairly standard operating procedure as far as entertainment goes. From the perspective of Drums/Amps, the plan at the moment is personal equipment - yes. That said, if there is a better solution that would be best for all concerned, we would appreciate your advice on the matter.

Sorry we didn't provide more notice, the opportunity only arose about a week ago.

We have a couple of bands who have gratiously agreed to help out and are looking to provide 6 hours of entertainment. Therefore at this stage, it would be minimum 2 hour sets. However I would like to bring this down to 1.5hrs preferably (4 bands) unless there was any preference to keep them longer, in which case, we would start the entertainment earlier (12pm rather than 2pm).

Advertising will start early next week, so we need to finalise all interested parties by Monday in order to ensure you are properly represented in the Marketing material and Press Releases, after which we can confirm times, set lengths and discuss any other minor details.

Kind Regards,

Kristian...
